  SAP Error Message:
  WS743 - Document &1 has been read from historical data area or archive
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when a user tries to access or process a document that is no longer available in the current, active database tables but has been moved to the historical data area or archived.

  When a document is archived, it is physically removed from the active tables and stored in archive files or historical tables.
